A septic tank is a retention vessel designed to receive
sewage, hold it for a period and then release a
clarified effluent. Sewage is a mixture of toilet
wastes, kitchenwastes and so called grey wastes i.e.
liquids which include washing, bath and washing machine
wastes. A septic tank is primarily a liquid/solid
separation system, although there may be some limited
biological activity within the sludge and the liquid
interface.
Cesspools act
as a solution for locations without mains drainage where
the discharge of treated effluent is not permissable due
to unsuitable ground conditions, or where infrequent use
such as for a holiday home would prevent the use of a
packaged treatment plant.
As the name
septic
implies, the sewage
entering the tank becomes septic. If you look this up in
a dictionary or thesaurus, you will see the alternative
words - putrid,toxic, noxious, unsanitary, rotten,
decaying. It is possible that at sometime, smells will
be detected from somewhere in the drainage system. These
can be minimised by correct installation, location and
by controlling the sewage.
